512 A collapsing illusion
In this fantasy of the Ancient Era, the Haiwen Peninsula is located at the junction of the Nefland Mercantile Republic and the Forest Elves Sea Frontier. But it is a pity that whether it is in the war years in the past, or in this peaceful and prosperous era today, this remote peninsula is a barren place that no one will pay attention to.
With the exception of a few casual players who like to wander around, or alchemists who are keen to burrow into the woods in search of rare plant materials, few people have set foot in the area.
It wasn't until the game version was updated and the Vesurayama dungeon was launched that the Haiwen Peninsula became a hot spot in the eyes of players.
These realists will only look for rewarding quests in an area, valuable treasures buried deep in dungeons, or boss monsters that drop the best equipment.
"Hmph, a bunch of flies that only chase profits!"
Looking at the hordes of adventurers on the road to Mount Wesula, Travok the Grey Dwarf looked dissatisfied. This guy seems to have inherited the peculiar cynicism of the underground race, and when he sees any phenomenon, he will touch his proud beard and criticize it.
Of course, after he finished speaking, he inevitably attracted a series of ridicule from the little girl Ainia. And in Traverk's ears, "short-legged stupid" was the word that most angered him.
However, since Ania is the sister or girlfriend of her boss, Gordon, so in order to earn five gold coins a day to buy alcohol and a coveted legendary outfit, the gray dwarves always put on a posture of "men don't know women".
Of course, even if you really have to fight. He can only bow to the wind.
"Alright, Travok. Don't always be unaccustomed to everything. According to you, aren't we also flies who come to Mount Wesura to chase profits? The warrior monk said.
These two are in the game. Because of the common hobby of drinking, they quickly became good friends.
"How can we compare to the average player?" Trawalker immediately retorted, "At the very least, we are high-end players who pursue the limit and have the courage to challenge strong opponents, and at the very least, we are the heroes who are about to save this land from the hands of the gods!" ”
"It's just a game. This beautiful land in front of you. It's nothing more than a bunch of zeros and a number of ones. Knight Akinham interjected.
Among the seven people in this line, it is the gray dwarf Travok whose "role-playing spirit" is the strongest. Everyone else treats the virtual world as a pure game - especially Akinhan, who is suffering from the cost of his wife's surgery and needs to make money in the game.
And the gray dwarves. But I really think of this game as another world, another life.
Maybe it had something to do with his prison experience.
And Gordon, who was accompanied by three beauties, didn't have the heart to listen to the gossip of his companions. Maybe no one else noticed, but the observant mage had already noticed it. This virtual game world. Or rather, the entire illusion constructed by legendary spells is gradually collapsing.
The most significant phenomenon is that the vegetation landscape on both sides of the road is gradually thinning and roughening. In some corners that are not easy to be noticed, the game world, which is supposed to be 99% realistic and has the same experience as the real world, has the most basic system problems such as the disappearance of textures.
The original lifelike flowers, plants, rocks and soil have been replaced by a pure and empty blue.
In the energy gradually weakens. Functions begin to fade when the rules of the world are in place. The first thing is to make sure that the most critical, the most core things continue to operate as usual. So those things that don't matter just disappear.
Among the reasons for this result is the credit of the Elemental Emperor His Majesty, the credit of the Seven Sins, and even the credit of Gordon himself.
In order to create a powerful legendary equipment for all seven people, he used a lot of resources from this world.
"Time is limited, and you only have one chance. You can only succeed, not fail. Gordon thought to himself, clenching his fists involuntarily.
Fortunately, although there are many difficulties, after his full preparation, there is still a good chance of winning to achieve the task of defeating the gods.
Each member of the team has a legendary equipment that can greatly improve their personal strength. And in the past two days in the game, Gordon also used his previous knowledge to conduct high-intensity training for this team.
Fight your way through the dungeon in the game. Fighting in bed in reality is probably all about Gordon's life in the past two days.
In order to better deal with the gods of the God of Hatred, the monster named "Red Ghost", the team specially made targeted preparations, just the challenge level eighteen, known as the strongest undead creature at the current stage of the "Ancient Era" - Ice Ghost King, the group in two days, thirteen times.
Different gods have a variety of shapes and abilities depending on the environment in which they were born.
Some look like giant robots, some take the form of traditional dragons, and some look like puddles of silvery liquid. However, there is also the appearance of a giant dead baby with multiple heads, which is a terrifying image that makes people have nightmares when they look at it.
According to what Gordon had learned from Penza, the corpse of the God of Hate had been transformed into a spirit creature with no physical body, and its body was crimson like flowing blood plasma.
Therefore, the nickname "Red Ghost" is very appropriate.
And the priesthood of the Dark Trio is inherently closely linked to death, destruction, negative energy, and other factors. Therefore, in essence, in addition to its own divinity, the red ghost is actually a particularly powerful undead creature.
In order to deal with this guy, Gordon also made targeted preparations.
Each weapon he crafts for his team is enchanted with different types of energy damage. Moreover, Sigrid's elven sword and Akinhan's knight's one-handed sword also have special abilities that increase damage to evil creatures.
Depending on the type, each Divine Sin is completely immune to at least one of the eight energy attributes: Fire, Cold, Lightning, Strong Acid, Sonic Wave, Force Field, Radiance, and Dark Eclipse. There will even be cases where you are immune to two or three of them. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the diversity of attack methods.
In addition, Mephisto is the most manipulative of the Dark Triad, and Gordon's team must also strengthen their ability to resist the spells of the School of Mind.
Inviting the warrior monk Clevisy to join is for this purpose.
Moreover, Gordon gave everyone a medal called "Gordon. Freeman's Soul Shield".
This ring's ability is nothing else, the most critical ability is to weaken the success rate of a Qiē Mind School spell against the wearer of the ring, and gain a 50 will check bonus when fighting against mind spells.
Even a guy like the gray dwarf with a clumsy brain and well-developed limbs, after wearing this legendary ring, can easily defend against the attacks of the Nine Rings Mind Spell.
Moreover, this kind of ring is also useful when it is necessary to deal with the Seven Sins before facing the gods.
Gordon's group of seven people walked and chatted like this, and soon arrived at an adventurer's camp at the foot of Mount Wesula, which had just been built.
Many players with a keen eye for business have already taken the lead by renting space in this camp and opening shops, taverns, inns and other facilities to make a lot of money.
In Gordon's view, the players who pin their hopes of making a fortune on the ethereal "secret treasury" are obviously not as smart as these businessmen.
However, not everyone has the capital to rent a place from the system and set up shop in such a popular area.
The seven people led by Gordon had just entered the adventurer's camp, and the chaotic environment around them suddenly froze and fell into an eerie silence.
In order to cover the dazzling magical aura emitted by the equipment on his body, Gordon specially made eight black robes that could block arcane vision. But he overlooked a problem. The appearance of seven people in black robes neatly dressed in uniform styles and full of mysterious aura in the adventurer's camp was not much weaker than the effect of them directly appearing here in a neon-like god costume.
Sigrid gave Gordon a blank look.
The latter could only shrug his shoulders helplessly: "Time is limited, no matter how careful I think, I can't do everything." Your boyfriend is not a god. ”
The double-ponytailed girl stretched out her hand and gently pinched the back of her boyfriend's hand: "Big villain, you still say ...... If you hadn't done it all day long with the three of us in bed...... How can there be not enough time to do that kind of thing? ”
Of course, Gordon can't say that overthrowing the three of you is a political task that must be completed, so he can only smile perfunctorily.
Fortunately, players in fancy clothes are not uncommon in the game, so Gordon and his party only attracted the attention of adventurers for about ten minutes, and after that, everyone went their separate ways.
Although there was a large stack of mansions in the dimensional bag that could provide a single room for each team member, Gordon did not rush to lead the team out of the adventurer's camp and head towards the mountains, but spent a dozen silver coins to rent seven rooms in a simple hotel in the camp.
He needed to linger in this crowded area for a while, looking for traces of the Seven Sins.
Two days ago, in the interval between the next copy, Gordon also went to inquire about the news. He had learned from many sources that all sorts of strange things had been happening in the Waisula Mountains, the most popular gaming area today.
The two trade unions, which had a good relationship, suddenly began to fight because of the distribution of the spoils, and the sky was dark.
The team that used to get along harmoniously suddenly collapsed and disbanded because of mutual jealousy and open and secret fighting among the team members.
Many players always have an inexplicable anger in their hearts, and then a series of PK incidents have occurred.
Of course, there is also a night when the people like to see it the most, and screenshots are flying all over the sky, and the group mating incident that has turned the sky upside down on the forum.
There is no doubt that these are the ghosts of the Seven Sins.
Ignoring the troubles of the other players for the time being, at least Gordon's plan is already half successful. (To be continued......)
